why is Log4j trying to find log4j.dtd

Question

I\'m getting an exception when I try to run my application (in eclipse) complaining about log4j.dtd. Am I meant to have a dtd file if I use the xml configuration for log4j?

Answer 1

For people coming on that, as of now, log4j.dtd is included in log4j.jar (in version 1.2.14 at least).

As log4j.dtd is looked for in your classpath (see this other question) you shouldn't need it anymore.
